20 Questions w/ Luke Williams: Yard Athletics Coach

by Yard Athletics – April 9th, 2020

The 20 Questions series doesn’t take a back seat for anything! Pandemic or not, we are rip roaring ahead with our latest installment of our world-renowned*** interview series that shines the light on our amazing Yard Athletics community.

It’s been a little overdue, but we are finally able to introduce Yard Athletics Coach Luke Williams to the 20 Questions gauntlet!

Luke joined us a few months ago, and instantly became a welcome addition to the team. His background playing football, combined with a strong personal training bedrock has made him an instant asset to the #YARDHARD coaching squad.

But, like we always do with our 20 Questions subjects, we want to go deeper… past the standard pleasantries and into the meat and potatoes of our subject. What makes Luke tick? Where does he unwind after a long day, what’s his favorite drink, and the ultimate question: Spanish Banks or Wreck Beach.
